5 Lessons Of Christmas
Wise still seek Him. Science bowed knee to Jesus.
Christmas is a MIRACLES
Angel in the temple. Elderly couple. Angel to Mary. Dream and angel to Joseph. Supernatural birth. Shepherds were notified by choir of angels. Wise man saw something in heaven. Dream warning. Joseph warned again. GOD SPOKE TO PEOPLE WHO WERE CONNECTED TO CHRIST….GOD LED PEOPLE OUT OF DANGER BY SUPERNATURAL WAYS
Miracles happen to those who depend on them not just those who pray for them
Christmas is about GIFT than GIFTS
Gifts that are not needed, cheap. YOU NEED IT ☺
Gift is not salvation but SAVIOR, not peace, not blessing,……
Faith unwraps this gift. Gift is wrapped…
Birth in STABLE is where He is still being born everyday
Jesus was born in the stable. That’s where lambs are born. Place of birth of God’s Son. Unworthy of divine royalty – dirty, dark, defiled. Son revealed through it. Doesn’t draw attention to itself. Became known because Jesus was there.
Seed sown into dirt….
His presence makes it clean….owner cleaned….darkness leaves in presence of light….
God appears to Shepherds
God appeared to Shepherds not Pharisees, nor Herod. Social outcasts, religious outcasts. Maybe because they were shepherding lambs. Maybe because Jesus would be a Shepherd – be with the sheep and stay with them in the night to watch over them. Abel, Moses, 12 Tribles, David, God is Shepherd. Meeting an angel leads to meeting God. Ordinary people meet extra ordinary God. Religious people are committed to the law, Shepherds are committed to the sheep.
savoir saves you, shepherd stays w u
Emmanuel – God with us.
Star will lead you to Jesus (Matthew 2:9-12)
Without star you will not find Jesus
Star is to lead you to Jesus not Jerusalem. It’s not possible to know Jesus without Bible, but it’s possible to know Bible and not know Jesus.
